Replace archive.today with archive.org in footnote URL
Based on a reasonable suggestion on ethical reasoning [1], this commit replaces the git.sdf.org + archive.today pair of URLs in the footnote on Github's unethical aspects, with a single archive.org URL, which contains the original URL, making this sufficient for readers wishing to check either the live or archived versions.

This refers to discussions about the project such as bug reports or proposals of adding new features: which are usually referred to as ``issues'' or ``pull requests'' (also called ``merge requests'').
These ephemera are not part of the Git commit history of a software project, but add wider context and understanding beyond the commit history itself, and provide a record that could be used to allocate intellectual credit.
For these reasons, the \emph{Investigating \& Archiving the Scholarly Git Experience} (IASGE) project proposes that the ephemera should be archived along with the Git repositories themselves\footnote{\inlinecode{\href{https://investigating-archiving-git.gitlab.io/updates/define-scholarly-ephemera}{https://investigating-archiving-git.gitlab.io/updates/}}\\\inlinecode{\href{https://investigating-archiving-git.gitlab.io/updates/define-scholarly-ephemera}{define-scholarly-ephemera}}}.

The GHTorrent project tracks the public Github ``event timeline'', downloads all ``contents and their dependencies, exhaustively'', and provides database files of all the material.
A particular complication that will need to be dealt with by projects such as GHTorrent is the copyright of the git hoster on the particular format and creative choices in style in which the ephemera are provided for downloading.
